This is J. Rippel’s tattoo:
Just an ever-present reminder of my love, my home, my muse, Illinois. Designed by a good friend.
Byzantium, I come not from,
But from another time and place
Whose race was simple, tried and true;
As boy
I dropped me forth in Illinois.
A name with neither love nor grace
Was Waukegan, there I came from
And not, good friends, Byzantium.
- Excerpt from “Byzantium” by Ray Bradbury

It’s a long shot but – does anyone have an idea of what font this is? Or anything that is quite similar? You can e-mail me at cognatoj@yahoo.com, or aim me at emoandstay. Or leave a comment here? Thanks
Very nice. Exquisitely done!
Really beautiful!
Lovely. I’m currently enjoying IL myself :)
that’s a really gorgeous tattoo. The font looks so nice with the image, it’s a great piece.
This is one of the most beautiful tattoos I’ve ever seen.
